Whether you're joining for the first time or already have experience – to help you get started with the new FIRST LEGO League season, we offer a wide range of support. From personal mentoring to practical training and funding opportunities – we’re here to support you throughout the season: individually, easily, and based on your needs. We give you an overview of our main support offers.

Mentoring for Teams and Classes

Use the mentor feature in the dashboard to request targeted support from experienced coaches or volunteers – for example, on programming, research, or teamwork. Already registered your team? Then you’ll find suitable mentors in the login area: www.first-lego-league.org/en/login

Training for Teachers & Coaches

Our hands-on workshops prepare you for successful implementation – with practical tips, material previews, and networking with other educators. Especially useful for Challenge coaches: the Jumpstart formats in collaboration with Nano Giants Academy (in various regions) and our training series with VDI-Garage in Leipzig.
